I've been using WMC Server with my Kodi (Openelec) and most everything is working fine. However, there are about 25 recordings that don't get recognized in WMC Server. They all look to be older recordings, but are in the same format and from the same channels as recordings that are being picked up. I copied them somewhere else and copied them back and that didn't help. They are all in my Recorded Tv directory.

If these files have drm, serverwmc might not be transferring because of that fact (this can be turned off in settings). If that's not the case, post your serverwmc log after your open elec client connects.

I tried playing with that DRM checkbox previously and it didn't make a difference.

I looked a log before and couldn't find those shows not showing. Is there something I need to turn on for more detail? There were multiple log files. Is it one for each time you start the app?

Do the recordings show up in WMC?

Yes, a new log file is created each time you start the application. The current log is always called ServerWMC.log. Older logs from the same day are renamed by appending a number to the end: , ServerWMC.1.log, etc. In addition, everyday the log is rotated and the old logs are renamed to include the date.

The ideal way to collect a log would be to stop and restart ServerWMC, then have the client connect. Then take the ServerWMC.log and paste it on http://pastebin.com. Put the link to that here and we can have a look. You could enable Debug_LogGetRecordings in the settings file as that may help.

I don't see the Debug_LogGetRecotrdings setting and don't know where to create it as there are multiple config files.

The log is too big to paste in pastebin. I don't see any specific recording names in there either.

The recordings all show in WMC under Recorded Tv.

I was able to find that config setting going through the debug tab. I turned it on.

Here is the log file:

According to the log, the openelec client received 27 rec tv files and did not receive 48 files. The reason the 48 files were not transferred is because they are stored in a folder that is not shared. Does this sound right?

The number missing sounds right. However, all the recordings are in the same folder which is the Recorded Tv folder WMC puts all recordings in.

krustyreturns · 2016-01-26, 19:14

Are the 48 files that aren't getting transferred in both the rec tv folder AND a local (not shared) folder?

No. I did a search. They only exist in that directory.

It shows 3 additional folders in WMC Server under "Watched Recorded TV". I guess it gets them from WMC. Those use drive letters, not UNC paths. I'm not sure if that matters.

Have you tried restarting swmc after you moved the files?

Yes.

I just moved all the files out of Recorded TV. Stopped and Started WMC Server. Moved one recording that wasn't showing back to the folder. Started WMC Server. It shows there are 0 recordings.

The same recording plays fine in WMC.

The wmc file watcher does not work well, especially when files are moved into the rec tv folder (it pays better attention to when they are moved out). So humor me:

1) Close serverwmc.
2) move all the wtv files into the rec tv folder that you want to have access to.
3) Then start wmc and make sure it shows all the files are there.
4) Then restart serverwmc,
5) then openelec.

I think you have to go to C:\Users\Public\Libraries\RecordedTV and right click>properties then change the paths to network (UNC) paths if you're using these folders, otherwise delete them from the Library

I still show 0 recordings. I can see 75 in WMC. I even rebooted before step 3.
